Believe it, folks. The Pirates finally won a game they were supposed to win (based on the starting pitching matchup).

I missed the entire game, but it looks like the Bucs had no trouble getting to Gallaraga (4 runs in 2+ innings) as well as the weaker end of the Tiger bullpen. We even hit some homers! Adam LaRoche hit his 8th, and Freddy Sanchez hit a GRANNY off Nate Robertson. They each had two hits, along with Jason Jaramillo. Jack Wilson was 3-for-3.

Great to see the Bucs finally beating up on someone with an ERA above 6. Those are the guys they (obviously) should crush, but as you and I both know, they are also the guys who usually dominate us. All it took was my no-hitter alert in the Gameday.
